Judge, you're going to be the MVP Yankees Judge's 4546th consecutive home run blast. 4th place in the club's history

Sep 12, 2025

At this pace, it is not strange at all even if Aaron Judge (New York Yankees) wins the American League (AL) MVP. Judge showed off his presence by hitting a home run with consecutive at-bats.

Judge started the home game against the Detroit Tigers at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York, on the 12th (Korea time), and made three hits (two home runs) in four at-bats (two home runs) and two RBIs and three runs in succession in the bottom of the first and third innings. With Judge's performance at the forefront, the Yankees maintained their lead in the AL wild card category with a 9-3 victory.

On the day, Judge added a home run for the first time in two days. Judge, who faced Detroit starter Tyler Holton in his first at-bat after one out in the bottom of the first inning, pulled the 6th cutter from the full count and quickly hit the left-center wall

I turned over the market. The batting speed was 110.1 miles (about 177.2 kilometers). It was Judge's 45th homer of the season.

Judge then came out as a leadoff hitter in the bottom of the third inning and hit another home run. Judge, who met Detroit bullpen pitcher Sawyer Gibson-Long, strongly received a four-seam fastball that entered the lower course of his body on the second pitch after watching the first pitch ball. The batting speed was higher than that of the previous home run. 114.9 miles (about 184.9 kilometers) were taken. It is a figure that shows that a huge amount of power was loaded at the moment of the impact.

As expected, the ball quickly crossed the left-center wall. As a result, Judge hit his 46th home run after his 45th of the season in his two at-bats early in the game, keeping him firmly in second place in the AL home run category. Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (53).

Judge also achieved another record with his 361st career home run. He tied for fourth in the leading career home run rankings for the Yankees. It is the same rank as legendary Joe DiMaggio, who played for the Yankees in the 1940s and 50s.

Judge hit his 44th home run two days ago and became the lone fifth, beating Yogi Vera, who left the saying, `It's not over until it's over.' In just two days, the ranking has been raised by one more level. Judge's strength is spewing tremendously at the end of the season.

Of course, it is very difficult to catch up with Raleigh, who leads by seven. The AL home run king is almost certain to return to Raleigh.

But MVP needs to be viewed a little differently. In fact, Judge is ahead of Raleigh in most offensive indicators except for home runs and RBIs. Therefore, if we add more home runs to close the gap with Raleigh, we can expect to win the MVP award. Of course, if he catches up with Raleigh and becomes the home run king for the rest of the year, the MVP has no choice but to automatically follow him.

Attention is focusing on whether Judge, who has already become the Yankees' Living Legend, can win the MVP.
